Lamont Roach's director, Robert Diaz, WBA Lightweight Champion Garvonta 'Tank' was angry with the referee's decision to stop counting after taking a knee in the ninth round after a tank in Brooklyse center in New York.

Disqualification

Diaz says that Garvantar's decision to take a knee, Turn her back, and walk in her corner Should have been given a knockadown and disqualification verdict immediately after. In both cases, the referee, Steve Willis, without stopping the fight or let the Challenger Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOS) go without credit for a knockadown. These two referee's two -flying calls influenced the results of the fight, which was scored as the majority draw of 12 rounds. The scores were 115-113, 114-114 and 114-114 for the tank. Virtually the whole world saw Roach out.

Tank Davis claimed that he had taken the knee because Was grease in his eyesThe This is a weak excuse because the fighters often get grease in their eyes during fights and they do not take their knees and then do not walk to their corners to wipe it. Why did the referee allow Davis to do this?

Diaz said that he immediately tried to talk to the New York State Athletic Commission staff on the site, asked them what “they were calling it.” However, the referee's call was allowed to stand up without calling any knuckles or disqualifications.

Special treatment?

This makes it worse is that the tank is a superstar, and the fans presented that he was given special treatment that less popular fighters would not do it if they took their knees and left their feet. It is a knockadown and inaccessibility in general situations.

“When I started the count I was really upset I was really upset and then it stopped. I (New York State Athletic) ran to the Commission and I said, 'What are we calling it? I just want to know what you are saying. Everyone saw that it was a knockadown. You don't want to give him knockadown? If you turn your back, it's an ineligibility. 'There are two disqualifications and a knockudown. If he gets the knockadown he wins, “Rocu's director told Robert Diaz Boxing news Garvonta 'Tank' failed to call on Davis's ninth round knuckydown that referee, Steve Willis failed to call last Saturday night.

“When he started counting, how would you stop your count? I'm going to give it on Monday, call and talk to the people and say, 'What happened here?' I don't see their decision to reverse, but I see them say, 'Okay, let's make a re -match,' 'said Diaz.
